WHEREAS, NFC has sold the Initial Receivables, and has agreed to sell Subsequent Receivables, to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell the Initial Receivables and Subsequent Receivables (collectively, the "Receivables"), to the Owner Trustee in exchange for the Securities and the payment of funds withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the Servicer desires to perform the servicing obligations set forth herein for and in consideration of the fees and other benefits set forth in this Agreement. WHEREAS, the Seller and the Owner Trustee wish to set forth the terms pursuant to which the Receivables are to be sold by the Seller to the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust and serviced by the Servicer. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the other good and valuable consideration and the mutual terms and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS SECTION 1.01. Definitions. Certain capitalized terms used in the above ----------- recitals and in this Agreement are defined in and shall have the respective meanings assigned them in Part I of Appendix A to this Agreement. All references ---------- herein to "the Agreement" or "this Agreement" are to this Pooling and Servicing Agreement as it may be amended, supplemented (whether by Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment or otherwise) or modified from time to time, the exhibits hereto and the capitalized terms used herein which are defined in such Appendix A, and all ---------- references herein to Articles, Sections and subsections are to Articles, Sections or subsections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The rules of construction set forth in Part II of such Appendix A shall be applicable to ---------- this Agreement. 1 ARTICLE II CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES; ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Initial Receivables. In consideration of --------------------------------- the Owner Trustee's delivery of the Securities to, or upon the order of, the Seller, the Seller does hereby enter into this Agreement and agree to fulfill all of its obligations hereunder and to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee, under the Trust Agreement, without recourse, pursuant to an assignment in the form attached hereto as ------- -------- Exhibit B (the "Initial PSA Assignment"), all right, title and interest of the --------- Seller in, to and under: (a) the Initial Receivables and all monies paid thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) and due thereunder on and after the Initial Cutoff Date; (b) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Initial Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any accessions thereto which are financed by NFC; (c) the benefits of any lease assignments with respect to the related Financed Vehicles; (d) any proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to the Initial Receivables; (e) any proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to the Initial Receivables, proceeds from any International Purchase Obligations with respect to the Initial Receivables (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.04) and proceeds from any Guaranties of Initial Receivables; (f) the Purchase Agreement, the Initial PA Assignment pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Initial Receivables, and the Custodian Agreement, including the right of the Seller to cause NFC to perform its obligations thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase Initial Receivables under certain circumstances); and (g) any proceeds of the property described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (f) above. It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Section 2.01 shall constitute a sale of the Initial Receivables from the Seller to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, and the beneficial interest in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within two Business Days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller and the Servicer intend to treat such transfer and assignment as a sale for accounting and tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the 2 event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial interest is a part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller's right title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, and the Seller hereby grants such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of the Seller under any agreement or instrument included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments in respect of the Initial Receivables included in the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all other monies payable under the Initial Receivables conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights, powers and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to this Section 2.01. For purposes of such grant, this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC. SECTION 2.02. Conveyance of Subsequent Receivables. (a) Subject to ------------------------------------ satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.02(b) below, in consideration of the Owner Trustee's delivery on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the order of the Seller of the amount described in Section 5.02(a) to be delivered to the Seller, the Seller does hereby agree to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Owner Trustee, without ------- recourse, pursuant to an assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a -------- --------- "Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment"), all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under: (i) the Subsequent Receivables described in such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment and identified on the Schedule of Receivables and all monies paid thereon (including Liquidation Proceeds) and due thereunder on and after the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date; (ii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to such Subsequent Receivables and, to the extent permitted by law, any accessions thereto which are financed by NFC; (iii) the benefits of any lease assignments with respect to the related Financed Vehicles; (iv) any proceeds from any Insurance Policies with respect to such Subsequent Receivables; (v) any proceeds from Dealer Liability with respect to such Subsequent Receivables, proceeds from any International Purchase Obligations with respect to such 3 Subsequent Receivables (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.04) and proceeds from any Guaranties of Subsequent Receivables; (vi) the Purchase Agreement, the Subsequent Transfer PA Assignments pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Purchase Agreement with respect to such Subsequent Receivables and the Custodian Agreement, including the right of the Seller to cause NFC to perform its obligations thereunder (including the obligation to repurchase Subsequent Receivables under certain circumstances); and (vii) any proceeds of the property described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (vi) above. It is the intention of the Seller that each transfer and assignment contemplated by this Section 2.02 shall constitute a sale of the related Subsequent Receivables from the Seller to the Owner Trustee and the beneficial interest in and title to the assets conveyed pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment shall not be part of the Seller's estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Within two Business Days after each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall cause to be deposited into the Collection Account all collections (from whatever source) on or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment received by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller and the Servicer intend to treat each such transfer and assignment as a sale for accounting and tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any such transfer and assignment did not constitute such a sale or that such beneficial interest is a part of the Seller's estate, then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Owner Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the assets conveyed pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, and the Seller hereby grants such security interest and (ii) the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment shall be deemed to include all rights, powers and options (but none of the obligations, if any) of the Seller under any agreement or instrument included in the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, including the immediate and continuing right to claim for, collect, receive and give receipt for principal and interest payments in respect of the Subsequent Receivables included in the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment and all other monies payable under the Subsequent Receivables conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, to give and receive notices and other communications, to make waivers or other agreements, to exercise all rights, powers and options, to bring Proceedings in the name of the Seller or otherwise and generally to do and receive anything that the Seller is or may be entitled to do or receive under or with respect to the assets conveyed pursuant to such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment. For purposes of such grant, each such Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, together with this Agreement, shall constitute a security agreement under the UCC. (b) The Seller shall transfer to the Owner Trustee Subsequent Receivables and the other property and rights related thereto described in Section 2.02(a) above only upon the 4 satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent on or prior to the related Subsequent Transfer Date: (i) the Funding Period shall not have terminated; (ii) each of the representations and warranties made by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to such Subsequent Receivables shall be true and correct as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date with the same effect as if then made, and the Seller shall have performed all obligations to be performed by it hereunder on or prior to such Subsequent Transfer Date; (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a duly executed Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment, including a schedule of such Subsequent Receivables (which schedule shall be deemed to supplement the Schedule -------- of Receivables in effect at such time); -------------- (iv) the applicable Reserve Account Subsequent Transfer Deposit for such Subsequent Transfer Date shall have been deposited in the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(ii); (v) the Seller shall, at its own expense, on or prior to each Subsequent Transfer Date indicate in its computer files that the Subsequent Receivables conveyed on such date have been sold to the Owner Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the related Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignment; (vi) the Seller shall have taken any action required to maintain the first priority perfected ownership interest of the Owner Trustee in the Owner Trust Estate and the first priority perfected security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Collateral; (vii) The Receivables in the Trust (after giving effect to the conveyance of the Subsequent Receivables to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date) shall meet the following criteria: (A) the weighted average Effective Annual Percentage Rate of the Receivables in the Trust shall not be less than 7.25% (B) the weighted average remaining maturity of the Receivables in the Trust shall not be greater than 53 months and (C) the aggregate Receivables Balance of all Receivables owing from a single Obligor shall not be more than 2.00% of the aggregate Receivables Balance of all Receivables in the Trust; (viii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an Officers' Certificate confirming the satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 2.02(b); 5 (ix) the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the transfer of such Subsequent Receivables substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Rating Agencies on the Closing Date; (x) The Seller shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee written confirmation from an independent public accounting firm that, as of the applicable Subsequent Cutoff Date, such Subsequent Receivables satisfied the eligibility criteria described in Sections 3.01(a)(v), (r), (s), (t), (w) and (x) of the Purchase Agreement; and (xi) S&P shall have notified the Seller in writing that, following the addition of all such Subsequent Receivables to the Trust, the Notes will be rated by S&P in the same rating category as they were rated by S&P prior to such addition. (c) The Seller covenants to transfer to the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 2.02(a) before the termination of the Funding Period, Subsequent Receivables with an aggregate Starting Receivable Balance equal to $182,045,113.47. If on the Distribution Date on which the Funding Period ends (or, if the Funding Period does not end on a Distribution Date, the first Distribution Date following the end of the Funding Period) the Pre-Funded Amount is equal to or greater than $100,000, the Seller shall be obligated to pay to the Owner Trustee on the Transfer Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date an amount equal to the Noteholders' Prepayment Premium with respect to each class of Notes or such lesser amount that the Seller actually receives from NFC under Section 2.04 of the Purchase Agreement in respect of NFC's breach thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall be the sole remedy of the Owner -------- ------- Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders with respect to a failure of the Seller to comply with this covenant. SECTION 2.03. Custody of Receivable Files. In connection with the sale, --------------------------- transfer and assignment of Receivables to the Seller from NFC pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall enter into the Custodian Agreement with the Custodian, pursuant to which the Seller shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Seller as Custodian of the following documents or instruments which shall be constructively delivered to the Owner Trustee, as of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial Receivable, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Receivable: (a) the fully executed original of the Retail Note for such Receivable; (b) documents evidencing or related to any Insurance Policy; (c) the original credit application of each Obligor, fully executed by each such Obligor on NFC's customary form, or on a form approved by NFC, for such application; 6 (d) where permitted by law, the original certificate of title (when received) and otherwise such documents, if any, that NFC keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures indicating that the Financed Vehicle is owned by the Obligor and subject to the interest of NFC as first lienholder or secured party; and (e) any and all other documents that NFC keeps on file in accordance with its customary procedures relating to the individual Receivable, Obligor or Financed Vehicle. Pursuant to Sections 2.01(f) and 2.02(a)(vi), the rights of the Seller under the Custodian Agreement are being assigned to the Owner Trustee. SECTION 2.04. Acceptance by Owner Trustee; Limitation on Transfer of ------------------------------------------------------ International Purchase Obligations. The Owner Trustee does hereby accept all ---------------------------------- consideration conveyed by the Seller pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, and declares that the Owner Trustee shall hold such consideration upon the trust set forth in the Trust Agreement for the benefit of Certificateholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement, the Indenture and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee acknowledges and agrees -------- ------- that (a) the rights pursuant to the International Purchase Obligations are personal to NFC, and only the proceeds of such rights are being assigned to the Owner Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) the Owner Trustee is not or is not intended to be a third-party beneficiary of such rights, and (c) accordingly such rights are not exercisable by, enforceable by or for the benefit of, or preserved for the benefit of, the Owner Trustee. The Owner Trustee hereby agrees and accepts the appointment and authorization of NFC as Servicer under Section 3.01. The parties agree that this Agreement (including any Subsequent Transfer PSA Assignments), the Indenture and the Trust Agreement constitute the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements for purposes of the Purchase Agreement. SECTION 2.05. Representations and Warranties as to the Receivables. ---------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to Sections 2.01(f) and 2.02(a)(vi), the Seller assigns to the Owner Trustee all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement. Such assigned right, title and interest includes the representations and warranties of NFC made to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Owner Trustee that the Seller has taken no action which would cause such representations and warranties to be false in any material respect as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables. The Seller further acknowledges that the Owner Trustee is relying on the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement and of NFC under the Purchase Agreement in accepting the Receivables in trust and executing and delivering the Securities. The foregoing representation and warranty speaks as of the Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Receivables, and as of the related Subsequent Transfer Date, in the case of Subsequent Receivables, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivables to the Owner Trustee and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. SECTION 2.06. Repurchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Warranty. Upon ------------------------------------------------- discovery by the Seller, the Servicer or either Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties 7 in Section 3.01 of the Purchase Agreement (and, with respect to subsection 3.01(j) of the Purchase Agreement, irrespective of any limitation regarding knowledge of NFC) or in Section 2.05 or Section 6.01 of this Agreement that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Financial Parties in any Receivable, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the others. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach (or, at the Seller's election, the first Accounting Date following such discovery), unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in Section 2.05 or Section 6.01, the Seller shall repurchase such Receivable from the Owner Trustee on the related Distribution Date. The Owner Trustee shall have no affirmative duty to conduct any investigation as to the occurrence of any event requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section 2.06. The repurchase price to be paid by any Warranty Purchaser shall be an amount equal to the Warranty Payment. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Warranty Purchaser to repurchase any Receivable as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such repurchase obligations are fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against the Seller, the Servicer or NFC for such breach available to any Interested Party. The Servicer acknowledges its obligations to repurchase Administrative Receivables from the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof and to repurchase Warranty Receivables pursuant to Section 5.04 of the Purchase Agreement. ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF RECEIVABLES SECTION 3.01. Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer is hereby appointed and ---------------------- authorized to act as agent for the Owner of the Receivables and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. The Servicer hereby accepts such appointment and authorization and agrees to perform the duties of Servicer with respect to the Receivables set forth herein. The Servicer's duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment coupons to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, policing the collateral, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Owner of any Receivables with respect to distributions, generating federal income tax information and performing the other duties specified herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, the Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of the Receivables, pursuant to this Section 3.01, to execute and deliver, on behalf of all Interested Parties, or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with 8 respect to the Receivables and the Financed Vehicles. The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence in the name of the Owner of such Receivable or, to the extent necessary, in its own name, a legal proceeding to enforce a Liquidating Receivable as contemplated by Section 3.04, to enforce all obligations of NFC and NFRRC, in its capacity as the Seller or otherwise, under each of the Purchase Agreement and the Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements or to commence or participate in a legal proceeding (including a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable or a Liquidating Receivable. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Owner of such Receivable shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Owner of a Receivable to execute and deliver in the Servicer's name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. Any Owner of Receivables, upon the written request of the Servicer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement and the other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. Except to the extent required by the preceding two sentences, the authority and rights granted to the Servicer in this Section 3.01 shall be nonexclusive and shall not be construed to be in derogation of the retention by the Owner of a Receivable of equivalent authority and rights. SECTION 3.02. Collection of Receivables Payments. The Servicer shall make ---------------------------------- reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, and shall follow such collection practices, policies and procedures as it follows with respect to comparable medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others. Except as provided in subsection 3.07(c), the Servicer is hereby authorized to grant extensions, rebates or adjustments on a Receivable without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable and to rewrite, in its ordinary course of business, a Receivable to reflect the Full Prepayment of a Receivable with respect to any Financed Vehicle without the prior consent of the Owner of such Receivable. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing such Receivable. SECTION 3.03. [Reserved.] SECTION 3.04. Realization Upon Liquidating Receivables. The Servicer shall ---------------------------------------- use reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to repossess or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of each Financed Vehicle that it has reasonably determined should be repossessed or otherwise converted following a default under the Receivable secured by each such Financed Vehicle. The Servicer is authorized to follow such practices, policies and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be customary and usual in its servicing of medium and heavy duty truck, truck chassis, bus and trailer receivables that it services for itself or others, which practices, policies and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon or obtain benefits of any lease assignments, proceeds from any Dealer Liability, proceeds from 9 any International Purchase Obligations, proceeds from any Insurance Policies and proceeds from any Guaranties, in each case with respect to the Receivables, selling the related Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles at public or private sale or sales and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair or towards the repossession of such Financed Vehicle unless it shall determine in its discretion that such repair and/or repossession shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive Liquidation Expenses with respect to each Liquidating Receivable at such time as the Receivable becomes a Liquidating Receivable in accordance with subsection 4.06(b)(i). SECTION 3.05. Maintenance of Insurance Policies. The Servicer shall, in --------------------------------- accordance with its customary servicing procedures, require that each Obligor shall have obtained physical damage insurance covering each Financed Vehicle as of the execution of the related Receivable, unless the Servicer has in accordance with its customary procedures permitted an Obligor to self-insure the Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles securing such Receivable. The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures, monitor such physical damage insurance with respect to each Financed Vehicle that secures each Receivable. SECTION 3.06. Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles. The Servicer --------------------------------------------- shall, in accordance with its customary servicing procedures and at its own expense, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the first priority security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle or Financed Vehicles. The Owner of each Receivable hereby authorizes the Servicer to re-perfect such security interest as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason. SECTION 3.07. Covenants of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby makes the ------------------------- following covenants on which the Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, is relying in acquiring the Receivables hereunder and issuing the Securities under the other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements. The Servicer covenants that from and after the Closing Date: (a) Liens in Force. Except as contemplated in this Agreement, the Servicer -------------- shall not release in whole or in part any Financed Vehicle from the security interest securing such related Receivable; (b) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of ------------- NFRRC or any Interested Party in and to such Receivables; and (c) No Modifications.

The Servicer shall be obligated to make a Monthly Advance in respect of a Receivable only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall determine that such advance shall be recoverable (in accordance with the two immediately following sentences) from subsequent collections or recoveries on such Receivable. Subject to Section 4.07(c), the Servicer shall be reimbursed for Outstanding Monthly Advances with respect to a Receivable from the following sources with respect to such Receivable, in each case as set forth in this Agreement: (i) subsequent payments by or on behalf of the Obligor, (ii) collections of Liquidation Proceeds, (iii) the Administrative Purchase Payment and (iv) the Warranty Payment.

Each of the following shall ----------------- constitute a "Servicer Default:" (a) any failure by the Servicer to deliver to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in any of the Designated Accounts or to the Owner Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Distribution Account any required payment or to direct the Indenture Trustee to make any required distributions therefrom, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five Business Days after written notice is received by the Servicer from the Applicable Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; (b) failure on the part of the Seller or the Servicer to duly observe or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Seller or the Servicer set forth in the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreements which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of Financial Parties, and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, by either Trustee, or to the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, and to either Trustee by 25% or more of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date; (c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, Indenture or any other Further Transfer and Servicing Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, and if the consequences of such representation, warranty or certification being incorrect shall be susceptible of remedy in all material respects, such consequences shall not be remedied in all material respects within 30 days after the Servicer first becomes aware or is advised that such representation, warranty or certification was incorrect in a material respect; (d) the entry of a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator for the Seller or the Servicer, in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or 32 (e) the consent by the Seller or the Servicer to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, or similar proceedings of or relating to the Seller or the Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of their respective property; or the Seller or the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations. SECTION 8.02. Consequences of a Servicer Default. If a Servicer ---------------------------------- Default shall occur and be continuing, either the Indenture Trustee or not less than a majority of the Controlling Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date by notice then given in writing to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Financial Parties) may, in addition to other rights and remedies available in a court of law or equity to damages, injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the termination of all sub-servicing agreements, without cost. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Securities or the Receivables or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 8.02. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with either Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to either Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or that shall have been deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account, the Negative Carry Account, the Pre-Funding Account, the Reserve Account, the Note Distribution Account or the Certificate Distribution Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables that shall at that time be held by the Servicer. In addition to any other amounts that are then payable to the Servicer under this Agreement, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the successor Servicer reimbursements for any Outstanding Monthly Advances made during the period prior to the notice pursuant to this Section 8.02 which terminates the obligation and rights of the Servicer under this Agreement. SECTION 8.03. Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On ---------------------------------------------------- and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8.02, the Indenture Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement, and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, restrictions, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the predecessor Servicer shall remain liable for, and -------- ------- the successor Servicer shall have no liability for, any indemnification obligations of the Servicer arising as a result of acts, omissions or occurrences during the period in which the predecessor Servicer was the Servicer; and provided, further, that NFC shall remain liable for all -------- ------- 33 such indemnification obligations of the Servicer without regard to whether it is still Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if no such notice of termination had been given including, but not limited to, the Total Servicing Fee and Supplemental Servicing Fees and shall be entitled to Investment Earnings as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(i) hereof. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor (i) having a net worth of not less than $100,000,000 and (ii) whose regular business includes the servicing of medium and heavy duty truck, bus and trailer receivables, as the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Indenture Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Receivables as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no -------- ------- such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer under this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. SECTION 8.04. Notification to Financial Parties. Upon any termination --------------------------------- of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Noteholders and the Rating Agencies and the Owner Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders. SECTION 8.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. A majority of the Controlling ----------------------- Class as of the close of the preceding Distribution Date may, on behalf of all Financial Parties, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to or payments from any of the accounts in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 8.06. Repayment of Advances. If the identity of the Servicer --------------------- shall change, the predecessor Servicer shall be entitled to receive, to the extent of available funds, reimbursement for Outstanding Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 5.06 in the manner specified in Section 4.06, with respect to all Monthly Advances made by such predecessor Servicer. 34 ARTICLE IX TERMINATION SECTION 9.01. Optional Purchase of All Receivables. On the last day of ------------------------------------ any Monthly Period as of which (i) the Aggregate Receivables Balance is 10% or less of the Aggregate Starting Receivables Balance and (ii) the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes have been paid in full, the Servicer shall have the option to purchase the assets of the Owner Trust Estate other than the Designated Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account. If the Servicer's long term unsecured debt rating from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. is equal to or higher than Baa3 at the time that it seeks to exercise such option, then to exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the aggregate Administrative Purchase Payments for the Receivables (including Liquidating Receivables), plus the appraised value of any such other property contained in the Owner Trust Estate (less the Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection with the recovery thereof), such value to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and each Trustee. If the Servicer's long term unsecured debt rating from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. is less than Baa3 at the time that it seeks to exercise such option, then to exercise such option, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the appraised value of the Receivables (including Liquidating Receivables), plus the appraised value of any such other property contained in the Owner Trust Estate (less the Liquidation Expenses to be incurred in connection with the recovery thereof), such values to be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and each Trustee; provided, that such amount (when added to any funds then on deposit in the Designated Accounts) must be at least equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of the outstanding Notes to be redeemed with such proceeds for the Distribution Date related to the Monthly Period in which such option is exercised.
